" The authors recount: “Consumers need products and, if they can’t shop, they will inevitably resort to purchasing them online. As the habit kicks in, people who had never shopped online before will become comfortable with doing so, while people who were part-time online shoppers before will presumably rely on it more. This was made evident during the lockdowns. In the US, Amazon and Walmart hired a combined 250,000 workers to keep up with the increase in demand and built massive infrastructure to deliver online. This accelerating growth of e-commerce means that the giants of the online retail industry are likely to emerge from the crisis even stronger than they were in the pre-pandemic era”. (114)"
The Malls killed the downtown with help from others, Walmart et. al. already put a serious whack on smaller businesses inc mom & pops and now Amazon is eating Walmart's lunch.
What to really watch for is Alibaba or another Chinese company eating Amazon's lunch. The Government regulations around wuflu are a heavier load on Mom & Pop stores and restaurants than Amazon or Walmart are.
I live in a mid sized affluent Massachusetts town, people here and in the surrounding towns are shopping at the small stores and restaurants with the spoken intent of keeping them open.

And how do you force everyone to be comfortable with abandoning cash and having to have some kind of mark on the hand or forehead to buy or sell?
Exactly like this
And to keep thedonald soldiers from truth-slapping extended family in person
this is exactly right. Libtards hate small business because they can't be controlled, it is all part of their grand plan
I always support the mom and pop store when I can. I wish Canadians were way more patriotic like our American neighbours.

Agreed and it appears to be working. The local mom and pop restaurant is closed but Taco Bell, KFC, Arby’s, McDonalds are all open doing business.

So not everyone is folding into the scam.
It's working....most people don't want a confrontation every time they go shopping....very clever those marxists....
..fascists.. ..marxists it to fry into your mind the Russians are involved, but they are not and absolutely against fascism..
Like Soros is "Jewish" to enhance anti-semitism..
